Nope im just after sum info on this type of conversion to see if anybody has done it as i know were theres a recod 13b ..

I would love to do the chev deisel but the funds wont permit it atm as im not workin so i have to wait till i go back to work maby late march early april ..

Also i have 2 rangies one verry tidy and one for playin with and the tojo motor would be nice in the tidy one rather than the 3.5 v8..

Now if you are gonna **** a rover with a jap engine at least have some common decency and use an Isuzu donk. I would fit a 4bj1t over a 13b.

Don't listen to the tools talking about jap motors, personally i think the 3B is an excellent engine, much more driveable than a 4BD1 and the 13BT turbo version goes quite well, there was a conversion kit for sale on ebay in neerim, but that was along while ago

G/Day mate, i would think about that model toyo engine,owned a dyna for a few years,and they have a bad habbit of crackingthe top lip off cyl liners, had it happen twice!!, have witnessed It on the next engine up as well. Chits off motors!.

Ok wats a 4bj1t never herd of it and yes id rather a isuzu over a tojo but there harder to get 4bd1 would be nice but it needs a turbo as there a bit of a slug but will work hard all day ..

Like i said before im only thinkin about the tojo as i know were thers a recoed job just sitting waiting to be used ...

cheers

Yep im hearin ya as ive found out why the engin was rebuilt it threw a leg outa bed smashed a piston and put a hole in the liner at 110.000 k
for a deisel that was looked after well thats not good and now im kinda not keen on it as it mite just do it again and like you said sumo the broken liner would cause this type of damage ..

Cheers
